It looks to be like they are giving Jordan Staal way too much credit for his genes--but I just do not see the same level of excellence that I saw when Eric and Mark were in their draft years...IF Jordan Staal is trop ten material then this year's draft really STINKS!
I watched Jordan Staal at the TPG --and yes he scored a goal--but it was a gift tap -in resulting from a Team Cherry terrible line change creating a 5x2 situation and the Cherry goalie was pulled wy out of position --all Staal had to do was tap it into a gaping empty net_i could have scored that one...worse he got a severe lesson on face0ffs from Ben Maxwell who won virtally all of them vs. Staal--and Maxwell shut down Staal easily in the mano a mano as their lines faced each other until about mid-way in the 3rd period when they switched Mueler's line on Staal's--Staal played a bit better --but so did Mueller--both looked like crap to me...
OK --ONE bad game does not a reputation destroy...so I watched staall vs. Ottawa on Friday nightin the 67;s 5-0 win over the Petes--again Staal did ZERO to impress me...nada...
OK so he had 2 poor games...so i went back over his last 7 games in the stats just to see why anyone would rank him so high ..lo and behold he has scored just 1 goal =that "gift" in the TPG --in the regular OHL games vs. supposedly less talent all he could manage in these 6 games was 0goals and 2 assists...
THIS IS NOT IMPRESSING ME AS WORTHY OF A TOP TEN PERFORMER for the '06 draft!
Is there an injury or sickness that he has? I just do not see that he has the hockey sense and terrific wrist shot that brother Eric has ---I don't see his skating as that great either...I know he one an around the rink time in the TPG skills competition--but in real games he doesn't look like he is more that average in skating...I just don't see it for him!
